The image shows a group of police officers sitting around a table with laptops, bottles, books, and other objects. The officers are wearing uniforms and caps, and the room is illuminated by lights and a chandelier. There are windows with curtains in the background, and an air conditioner on the wall. The scene is likely related to the recent news that the Nigerian police have announced that they will be conducting a Covid-19 training session.

Three Solingen senior care facilities burglarized in one night

Three senior care facilities in Solingen were targeted by burglars in a single night. The break-ins happened between Sunday evening and Monday morning, with offices in each location being illegally entered. Police are now examining whether the incidents are linked.

The first burglary took place at a care home on Wiener Straße in Höhscheid. The intruders struck sometime between 6:00 PM on Sunday and 4:55 AM on Monday. No items were reported missing from the premises.

A second facility on Melanchthonstraße in Gräfrath was broken into next. This incident occurred between 4:00 PM on Sunday and 6:00 AM on Monday. Again, nothing appeared to have been stolen. The third break-in happened in the Wald district, at a care facility on Altenhofer Straße. The burglary took place between 6:15 PM on Sunday and 6:15 AM on Monday, following the same pattern as the others. Authorities are now looking into possible connections between the three cases. They have also called on anyone who may have seen suspicious activity near the facilities to contact them. In response to the incidents, police are providing advice on improving security measures to prevent further break-ins.

No stolen goods have been reported from any of the three locations. Investigators continue to gather evidence and assess whether the same individuals were responsible. Residents and staff in the area are being encouraged to remain vigilant and report any unusual behaviour.
